I have been advocating within my org to replace "fungible" with "flexible" or "generalist."
"Fungible" implies they are a commodity, easily swapped for someone else. In other words, they are so low-value that they are interchangeable.
"Flexible" or "generalist" instead connotes that they are so high-value that they can operate well in multiple domains, easily shifting to where they are needed most.
